However, one of the things that has always interested those who play FIFA is player ratings. No one knew how EA ratings are decided, until Michael Mueller-Moehring talked with ESPN.

According to his words, ratings of unknown players are decided with a guess work since EA has to work on a huge amount of data. That data is then refined thanks to professional data reviewers, scouts and football viewers that that regularly go to stadiums.

But the key element for player ratings is the league. In fact, when a good player goes to a smaller league, his ratings drop.

Moreover, some players don’t have particular abilities, so EA has to alter their statistics in order to make them stronger. At least, we can say that EA is putting a lot of effort in making player look realistic, don’t you think?
